## DATA ##
##########

The paper uses data from the NLSY79. To access these data, visit https://www.nlsinfo.org/investigator.

NLSY saves data in tagsets. You can upload the following tagsets to the server and download the data.

The NLSY79 tagsets all end in .NLSY79.

In a robustness check, we compared results to those we got using the NSLY97. These tagsets end in .NSLY97.

## CODE ##
##########

Two Stata .do files produce all of the results.

NLSY79 results: KillewaldLundberg_MarriagePremium_resubmit_code.do
NLSY97 comparison: KillewaldLundberg_MarriagePremium_resubmit_NLS97_code.do

Two .R files translate these results into figures.

Main figures: KillewaldLundberg_MarriagePremium_FigCodeR_main_022617.R
Slight modification for the 2 figures in the paper, to meet Demography copyediting requirements: KillewaldLundberg_MarriagePremium_FigCodeR_copyedits_022617.R
